Rutie was a very great person. She always wanted you to have some of her candy. She never missed church and she would help out with the crafts in Bible school. One of her most favorite things to do was color posters. My mom would bring her posters to color sometimes. Her and Robbie are the ones that statrted calling me Monkey. So I wrote a poem for her. It's called Heaven. Heaven is a good thing not a bad thing. Everybody wants to go there, just like Ruthie. You can run, jump, skip, and play again. It's just like your living a new life over again.

Love Always,
Your Monkey
